Venue
SKICC, Srinagar. The room is part of the story.
The supplied SKICC images are used as real venue media, enhanced through cropping, contrast and presentation rather than replacing the location with generic stock visuals.
Sher-i-Kashmir International Convention Centre
SKICC gives the summit a visible Kashmir identity: lake, mountain, architecture and cultural weight in one frame.
Ticket studio
Buy a pass, choose private sessions, and leave a clean backend trail.
This one-file version works as a Lovable-ready prototype: it stores ticket drafts in the browser, opens WhatsApp for the team, and shows exactly what a production payment backend should save.

Step 1
Pick your KACS pass.
Opening ceremony is invite-only on 22 August. Public summit access is 23 and 24 August. Edit these draft prices before launch if the final commercial plan changes.
Step 2
Choose private sessions.
Premium Pass includes 3 private-session credits.
Frontend sends ticket tier, attendee, and private-session choices to the backend.
Backend creates a Razorpay order or Stripe Checkout Session with the order id in metadata.
Payment success is trusted only after provider webhook signature verification.
Database stores the pass, sessions, payment status and QR code for entry scanning.
Lovable backend tables
Use this as the build brief: checkout creates an order, webhook marks it paid, private sessions reserve capacity, and QR scan validates entry.

Sponsorship starts with a budget conversation.
No checkout, no rigid public package wall. Sponsors first tell the KACS team their working budget, then the team shapes the right path.
Sponsorship range
INR 5 lakh - INR 50 lakh
For brand visibility, creator-adjacent content, on-ground presence, meeting access, production support and partner storytelling. Final inclusions depend on budget, schedule and fit.
